lavrov. that apparently is not happening. the u.s., of course, is saying there's not going to be any u.s. top officials visiting moscow until there is some sort of progress, especially on the question of the crimea referendum, but it seems as though the russians are just remaining absolutely hard on that question. not only are they saying they are going to let this referendum go through, they're going to support the fact that this referendum is going through, but the duma, the parliament here in moscow, has already said that it's going to debate the results of that referendum only a couple of days after it happens. of course, those could be the initial stages of crimea becoming a part of russia. so, i wouldn't even say it's not any movement, i would say that things have actually gotten more difficult between the u.s. and russia on the ukraine and on the crimea issue, john. >> backwards an awful bad direction in this crisis. fred pleitgen in moscow. thank you so much. >>> another day of testim

john kerry is headed to london to meet with his russian counterpart sergey lavrov. and the state department had said earlier this week that kerry would not make such a trip unless russia was showing concrete steps in terms of being open to a diplomatic path forward. i talked to a senior administration official who said the secretary would not be making that trip unless they saw those steps being taken, so there's a small glimmer of hope there, but a very stark assessment coming from yatsenyuk where he told the president quote we'll never surrender when talking about the russian occupation of crimea, but i asked him just outside the west wing when he came out to talk to reporters just briefly, would president putin of russia stand down, does he believe that vladimir putin would back down and it was very striking what he said, wolf. he said if russia's allowed to invade and occupy and take over crimea, the rest of ukraine could come next. >> jim acosta with the latest on that very important story. >>> coming up, we'll get back to the breaking news including our specia
